This is a Lissajou figure, a curve defined by parametric equations involving trig functions with two different periods [see Anton Ch 10]. As you can see it's been animated, so now there is an extra variable [so x, y, t1 and t2] and 3 periods. I created this mainly with MathGV, which is a free download.

answer keys and practice quizzes

I have mixed feelings about posting old exams. Every exam that I give is new, so relying on one of these as a shortcut to success is probably not a good strategy. But you can decide for yourself. Note:

• Most midterm exams are now 100 minutes, but the old ones varied from 75 to 125.
• Most finals were about 160 minutes, but in summers they were 75, and in Fall 2011 they are 120.
• The topics covered vary slightly from term to term.
• I may have reduced the blank space between questions to reduce file size.
• The online True False practice quizzes do not affect your grade.

Online TF Practice Exams

These are getting pretty old, from approx 2003, but students have said they are still useful (pls let me know if you use them). The chapter numbers below are probably a bit off now. The 9th edition of our textbook now includes TF practice in most sections, so you may not need this additional practice.

TF Practice with Chapter 2
TF Practice with Chapter 2.3 (the def 'n of limit)
TF Practice Quiz A, Chapter 3
TF Practice Quiz B,  Chapter 3
TF Practice with Chapter 4 (for E3 or the Final)
TF Practice with Chapter 4-5 (for the Final).

Fall 2005 Exams

This semester we used Anton's book, so the exams cover slightly different topics than in previous semesters.  This semester we had two 100 minute final exams instead of a single (approx 160 minute) exam, due to hurricane-rescheduling.
